Join US!
Each Month we explore the teachings found in the book 'Women who Run with the Wolves’, by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. We also examine and other teachings for women who are reshaping reshaping our stories by sharing OLD story. It is our obligation to future women to remember how to bring back these lessons and stories as they were orignially intended to be heard.
During our sessions we incorportate somatic practice such as Yin, breath-work and meditation. This series is much like the books they came from, tender, each section to be savoured, each lesson to be integrated, slowly intuitively.
If you have a calling for the wild one come and be with us.

Your direct relationship with your wild free self reflects the wildness, wilderness, wild life we see in the world, including the animals, the old stories, the old medicine, the old wisdom. Learn your wild and you will learn these.

Welcome
My name is Amy
For more than twenty-five years I have been a student and teacher of yoga, energy healing, cleansing, movement, and the deeper wisdom of the body. Through my story and my innate nature I dove into practices that brought me closer to the spirit world, or my subconscious world, that magical dream state with an imaginative child like curiosity. It not all been butterflies and roses, but I have stayed very close to this path and it has gifted me many beautiful life experiences. Ones that I use in my teachings. My work has evolved through decades of study, travel, and practice.
Today my focus is helping people reclaim strength, clarity, and vitality through simple but powerful practices that reconnect us to our natural rhythms. Through retreats, workshops, and community learning spaces, I guide conversations and embodied practices that explore women’s history, health, resilience, and the intelligence of the body itself.
At the heart of this work is a belief that the body is not something to control or perfect, but something to listen to. When we move, breathe, and train in ways that respect our natural design, we unlock strength, creativity, and a deeper sense of freedom at every stage of life.

Amy Kokoszka
The female wolf uses her intuition to lead the entire pack. If the lead male wolf were to get up and walk east and she did not follow, none of the pack would move. They wait for her sign.
I love the 'she' wolf. I love that she trusts deep intuition. I feel close to this animal. I love my imagination of her senses. I love the stories I've heard of her. I love how 'she' wolf inspires my story.
Yoga is one of the vehicles I ride to use my imagination. To fully express and therefore to love myself. Classically trained, yes, but as an individual soul contributing to this human existence. I have my way, as do you, as you have your story, your senses, and intuition.
If your story feels clouded, blocked, or needing inspiration then I am here to work with you, whether that be through yoga asana or heart-provoking practices.
Join me on retreat, in a yoga class, on a beach, in a sauna, come and share your story with me, and allow me to help you move, rooted, into your body, and your vision.
